The amount and frequency of the Resurgence Support Payment is increasing from 12 November and will be available until Auckland moves into the new COVID-19 Protection Framework.  A new round of the Wage Subsidy has also opened.  All financial support measures and how Pakihi Māori can access these can be found here.

COVID-19 wellbeing support for businesses remains important.  There are some helpful Mental Health Foundation resources and tools available here.

Also, free and confidential counselling support is available via Benestar.  Xero is funding the service and making it available to all small businesses across Aotearoa.  To access the service, simply call 0800 360 364 or email xap@xero.com.  All sessions remain confidential and are provided virtually or over the phone.
